Japanese style knife STYLE DE VIE, Katai Forged, Santoku, 18 cm

The KATAI Forged collection of the Dutch company STYLE DE VIE is the most impressive. It was the chef's knife of this collection that won the prestigious RED DOT award in the food production tools category in 2020!

Such an achievement led to the expansion of the KATAI Forged collection of exceptional beauty, versatility and comfort. Handmade, 5-layer forged metal, VG10 steel blade, unique handle, graceful shape - such knives fit perfectly in any kitchen and do the job flawlessly.

Santoku knife is the Asian equivalent of the most widely used chef's knife in European cuisine. Professional chefs and amateurs cooking at home are increasingly recognizing this form. Not without reason: it has a blunter end, is slightly shorter, and the longer part of the blade touches the table. 

6,500 products from more than 60 countries competed in the Red Dot Awards. The independent commission, which has been selecting for 65 years, chooses the winners based on their visual appeal, functionality, original design, innovativeness, used materials and production excellence.
